OTTAWA, Ontario (AP) – Canada has pledged to roll out “dollar-for-dollar” countertariffs on scores of U.S. goods in response to President Donald Trump’s latest import taxes, which have plunged the North American neighbors deeper into a bitter trade war.
Ottawa released a list of more than 700 targets. Starting on Sept. 8, Canada’s government says it will impose steeper import taxes on goods ranging from fish and cheese to smartphones and steel imported from the United States. The levies will be set at 15%, 25% or 50% – rates the government said would match U.S. tariffs on goods targeted in Washington’s latest round as well as products covered by previously imposed sectoral duties.
